Abstract

A disk playback apparatus such as a CD player comprises a case and a lift (2) unit which is supported to be movable in the vertical direction to the case. The lift unit comprises a playback unit (3), a turntable (4), a holder drawing member (5), and the like. A magazine (6) which is adapted to be loaded in the case accommodates therein disk holders, each of which hold one of different-sized disks. A control link (11) having a holder butting pin (12) and a disk control pin (13) is movably mounted on the playback unit which is urged in the direction of departing from the disk by means of a release spring. When the disk holder reaches its accommodation position, the disk holder butts against the holder butting pin and rotates the control link slightly, thereby the disk control pin compulsively corrects the position of the disk. Thus the disk is certainly transported to the normal chucking position on the playback unit irrespective of the disk accommodated state in the disk holder.
